Good plans

Milo Baptist Church offers an abbreviated plan for this week’s lesson, “Affirm God’s Good Plan”, our first from the book of Genesis.

Cynthia B. Price, member, Watson Chapel Church of Pine Bluff, also commented on “Affirm God’s Good Plan” in the Arkansas Baptist News. I like her mention of “Health care plans, 401K plans, vacation plans, diet plans, house plans” because she contrasted their design “by humans supposedly to make life better” with God’s best plan for man created “in the beginning”. To help get members thinking about “plans”, you could post up a slide that mentions these various plans and discuss how they are designed to help make life better.

Also, commenting on this lesson, Mike Dawson, pastor emeritus of First Baptist Church, Columbia, TN, offers the “ABCDEF” formula for remembering what God did on each day of creation. That might be useful to teach members.

I’m teaching out-of-cycle this week, so I’ll try to post the slides for my plan late Friday. For a laugh, see the photo in this “good plan” for an alternative automobile power source.

Sheryl, are referring to Mike Dawson, who is mentioned in my post? If so, I've only seen his comments in the Tennessee Baptist Reflector, not on a personal website.
